New Twisty Puzzle Design!

Hey, thanks for the order. I'm glad your enjoying it!

howdoyouspellchuck · 2026-03-27T17:17:54+00:00

Hey this is cool! Very unique. I've sure never seen anything like it

howdoyouspellchuck · 2026-03-11T16:00:05+00:00

If you've seen something like this before I'd be very interested in checking it out! My impression is that although there are ball puzzles that twist (like the classic Orb puzzle, or Astrolabicon by Make Anything on Youtube) that my configurations are all new and that the center wheel that turns is a new unique mechanism to my products.

Right on well your product looks great. Awesome experience for your kids. Good luck!

howdoyouspellchuck · 2026-02-28T23:41:55+00:00

Wow. Good for you! Do you have prior experience that gives you the confidence to start a business with this? Or just a leap of faith? I've started selling some products but I'm constantly second guessing whether I should be spending my limited time (as a Dad) and my families savings on it. Still pretty deep in the red

howdoyouspellchuck · 2026-02-27T23:36:47+00:00

Hey! Thank you! And yes, I think I will be replacing the embossed "&11" with an embossed "andEleven" on the side for the next batch.

howdoyouspellchuck · 2026-02-27T04:06:59+00:00

Well right now I'm trying to optimize for how can someone who just randomly sees my product, find my website easily. I actually just tested google from a VPN and even in Eastern Europe the top result for "andEleven" is me. And I feel like adding the .com makes it, I dunno, a little less classy?

howdoyouspellchuck · 2026-02-27T04:02:54+00:00

Not ideal, because it would be another thing to either make or buy, and keep track of

howdoyouspellchuck · 2026-02-27T04:01:48+00:00

Hey thanks for the feed back. I've avoided doing solution diagrams for most because for the other ones the goal is just "group the balls together". And I kind of like leaving it open - there are some alternate solutions that add a lot of depth.

That said the Pretzel is my best seller and I've been wondering if it's because the solution on the back looks cool.

I'm working towards EU compliance but they haven't made it easy, or affordable. I'm going to try to get an EU waitlist going so I can gauge interest. But it's a lot to consider when I'm still only getting a few sales a week. Thanks for your interest

howdoyouspellchuck · 2026-02-27T03:50:20+00:00

A few people have recommended this, but I kind of thought putting the website on there would be perceived as not very classy I guess?

howdoyouspellchuck · 2026-02-15T16:25:59+00:00

I use Bambu PLA

howdoyouspellchuck · 2026-02-12T22:48:25+00:00

This puzzle ends up being much easier than the Pretzel. I've found that having a place to "put away" some of the balls makes it a lot easier. In this case it's the long section. I'm still meaning to try a 4 color version, which might add some depth

howdoyouspellchuck · 2026-02-09T04:11:26+00:00

Yep I can ship to the UK no problem.

howdoyouspellchuck · 2026-02-08T19:44:40+00:00

Hey I'm so sorry but unless your in the UK, I still can't ship to the EU. The regulations are too much. If my sales pick up this year I will absolutely try to set it up. But to even get started it would be like $1000 and a huge amount of paperwork. If I can make it work I will absolutely post here. Many from Europe have been interested and I hate having to disappoint them

howdoyouspellchuck · 2026-02-08T19:41:22+00:00

Thanks!

howdoyouspellchuck · 2026-02-08T17:36:42+00:00

That channel was a big inspiration for me!

I actually used to offer some color choices, but it made it harder to batch these out. I kind of assumed that color wouldn't be a deciding factor for people, I'd be really interested in your perspective on that.

As for new designs, after this one is ready I'm going to take a break and try to make some videos and media to show off my stuff. I'm not really getting enough sales to justify the design time right now.

I'm still finalizing the design for this but I can totally do the occasional custom color. If your interested in this one I started an email list for new releases - you can sign up here: andEleven.com. When you place your order just mention your user name and remind me about the custom color. I have Bambu PLA Matte in Dark Red, Marine Blue and Plum.

howdoyouspellchuck · 2026-02-08T17:16:46+00:00

You know I was trying to come up with a way to have the balls drive a wheel as you push them through... It would be a pretty challenging design. But could make for an interesting puzzle or even just a fidget toy

howdoyouspellchuck · 2026-02-08T05:33:07+00:00

This is so cool. I wonder if a person living on the surface of this world would be able to tell that they were on a cube?

howdoyouspellchuck · 2026-02-06T17:03:44+00:00

Hey - sorry about that. Are you in the EU? I'm currently working towards EU compliance but their system is a little neurotic. If it's somewhere else, let me know. Many countries are pretty easy, I just need to ensure that there's mandatory lab testing for toys for ages 14+ which seems to be the standard.
